[pulllllo]

je suis peuls et j ai kiffffff trop la parti de langue touaregue

une tres belles voix bonne succes a vous

[gnawaserge]

this music is so spine tingling



[glueconcern]

As a modern-day consumerist westerner, it's hard to fully grasp the holistic intent of this song, but it resonates beyond ones own experience...and it's as psychedelic as anything I've ever heard. It's like if the Velvet Underground came from some exotic locale..( typical western comparison) .I hope that in the next life I will be blessed with the tools to fully comprehend the freedom they feel while performing this ancient music from the future...

[Genjutsumage]

they talking about a beautiful witch lady who just came of age to be considered a woman, basically a teenage lady who is now a woman and she's a witch going from teenage hood to womanhood, thats what the beginning of the song saying......

[PrinceHassanBee]

[27Morpheus]

It's more a charisma contest than a "beauty pagent".

[Whiteshirtloosetie]

Etran Finatawa were playing in Hitchin England with ROTW 2009. I made sure I saw them and they were awesome. I bought their CD "Desert Crossroads".

[valurina67]

i heard they dress up as women to attract women?i dont know any woman who is attracted to drag lol me not for sure!

[x77uqabr6]

Male standards of beauty are different across cultures. In their culture, they are not dressing as women, but in their best. Some men wear kilts...I wouldn't consider that crossdressing. Would you?

[VraiDiouf]

How are they dressing up as women?

[Unzaman]

ahhh i rely love them best tuareg band! Any one have a song called Heeme ?

[IsaacIsaiahMusic]

The Wodaabe's traditional choral music is more beautiful to me than this.

[1desta]

very nice i really like the beat.

[zootier]

Habe einen Bericht über sie im Deutschlandfunk gehört.

Es gilt, die Vielfalt von Wüstenmusik zu entdecken!

Man kann sich bei dieser Art von Musik richtig in die Szene einer abendlichen Jamsession am Lagerfeuer nebst grunzenden Dromedaren hineinversetzen.

So kann man diese Musik umso mehr genießen. Toll!

[YamiNoSensei13]

to soulbi23- No I'm not Fulani, was born in the USA... Yami no Sensei is Japanese, means "Darkness Teacher". Interesting to know the "yamino" meaning tho!

[YamiNoSensei]

People from North/West parts of Africa always tell me I look Fulani... it must be so 'cos this music really speaks to me in a deep & true way!

[soulbi23]

so are u or are u not a fulani but i could guess that u are sine yamino is fulani world that means eating

[Guitman2001]

....very cool!......I really like the guitar.....how long has the guitatr been a part of that culture?..Beatiful!..........
